Answer:

<u><em>Steven is 15 and one half years old now</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

Linear equations

Sometimes we need to know the value of a variable in a given equation and that variable is given as a polynomial of degree 1. Solving for that variable means isolating it and replacing the other known values

Steven was 7 years old eight and one-half years ago. If we call x as the actual age of Steven, his age eight and one-half years ago was

x-8\frac{1}{2}

We know he was 7 years old then, so

x-8\frac{1}{2}=7

We need to know his actual age, so let's solve for x, adding 8\frac{1}{2} to each side of the equation

x-8\frac{1}{2}+8\frac{1}{2}=7+8\frac{1}{2}

Simplifying

x=15\frac{1}{2}

Steven is 15 and one half years old now

Answer:

v =  {210cm}^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for finding the volume of a triangular prism is given as:

v =  \frac{1}{2}  \times b \times h \times l

where,

b = breadth = 7cm

h = height = 6cm

l = length = 10cm

Thus,

v =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7cm \times 6cm \times 10cm

v =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 420 {cm}^{3}

v  =  \frac{ {420cm}^{3} }{2}

v =  {210cm}^{3}

A definite integral of f(x)dx on the interval a to b probably SHOULDN'T be used:
OLga [1]
= cos( -x ) * [ - sin( - x ) ] = cosx * sinx ;
cosx * sin x is the right answer !
